Ann Arbor's Penny Seats theatre company to hold open auditions for summer musical Little Me May 5 and 6

For their third summer foray in West Park, Ann Arbor’s Penny Seats theatre company will be presenting the musical Little Me. Auditions for the show will be held at the Ann Arbor Senior Center (1320 Baldwin Avenue) on Sunday, May 5, 4-9 pm (open call) and Monday, May 6, 6-10 pm (callbacks). Any actors who are unable to attend on Sunday are welcome to audition on Monday night. Principal actors cast will be paid a small honorarium.

Written by the stellar team of Neil Simon/Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh, the musical Little Me, originally
choreographed by Bob Fosse, is perhaps best known for contributing the songs “I’ve Got Your Number,” “Real Live Girl,” and “The Other Side of the Tracks” to the catalogue of American pop standards and for comedian Sid Caesar’s Tony-nominated turn playing six different characters.

Little Me is the autobiography of the optimistic, yet spectacularly accident-prone, Hollywood star Belle Poitrine(née Schlumfert), who rises from poverty on the wrong side of the tracks - to wealth, culture and a position in society, wooing many men along the way.

Directed by Shannon McNutt, who has worked extensively throughout Southeast Michigan, teaches in Canton, and is a professional actress herself, Little Me will run from July 11-13, 18-20, 25-27 in West Park. All shows start at 7:00p.m. with picnicking beginning at 5:30p.m. The rest of the production team includes JP Hitesman (producer), Victoria Gilbert (choreographer), Rebecca Biber (music director), and Sean Murphy (technical director).

Character descriptions, synosis, and music cuts will be available on the Penny Seats website at www.pennyseats.org. Memorization is not required but please be prepared to sing vocal selections from the show as well as read from the script.
